March Challenge 31: Bodyrock.tv - 600 reps Sexier Body Workout -3

Original workout: Bodyrock.tv

It's the last day of my March Challenge and I'm so amazed that March is almost over. Not that I'm going to stop working out consistently but I'm pretty happy that I managed to stick to my own Challenge until the end, despite some hiccups.

Anyway, to close out this month's Challenge, I picked another older Bodyrock.tv workout with Zuzana.
I've done this workout twice in the past and still find it's very challenging!

Complete this entire circuit as fast as possible in proper forms

One Leg Push Ups – 60 reps (alternating legs)
Jump Lunges – 60 reps
One Leg Dead Lifts – 30 on each leg

One Leg Tricep Dip – 60 reps (switching legs)
One Leg Jump – 60 reps total (30 on each leg)
Chest Lift _ 60 reps

March Challenge 11: Inspired by CrossFit WOD

March Challenge 6: Cardio and Abs

I didn't have time to compose my own workout so I just modified Zuzana's older Bodyrock.tv See Your Abs workout to fit into my March Challenge.

Do 3 rounds for each part:
Part 1: High Knees Skipping (10 sec off/30 sec on for 8 rounds)
R1: 54-64-63-70-66-50-53-50
R2: 65-56-69-52-62-50-64-55
R3: 50-40-49-50-58-50-65

Part 2: 30 reps Knee Raises
R1: 1:12
R2: 1:01
R3: 1:02

After took a short break to sip water and wipe my sweats, I completed 50 Burpees (competition style) as part of 50 Burpees per day for 50 Day Challenge (Day 48!)

March Challenge 5: 3 blocks of 3 minutes burpees

Came back home later than usual, tired but that didn't stop me to keep up with my March Challenge! And to tackle the 50 burpees per day requirement as part of of 50 days of burpee challenge, I did 3 blocks of 3 minutes of burpees (30, 25, 25) which in the end resulted with a total 80 burpees. Woot!

March Challenge 4: 30 minute walk

I was sore from yesterday's ZWOW 7 (those side bends are pretty deceiving! Using the right heavy weight, you'll feel it on your obliques the next day!) so I opted for 30 minute walk under the sunshine.

March Challenge 3: ZWOW 7

ZWOW 7 came just in time for my March Challenge.

3 rounds of:
10 sets 3 jump lunges & 1 side kick
10 reps supergirl push ups
2 minute high knees skipping
10 reps weighted side bends (each side)- I used 25lbs sandbag

Time: 16:10

I was so close to Zuzana's time (16:08). I'm making sure to tackle this again. My upper body was a bit sore from yesterday's workout and not to mention it was that time of the month.



Just a little side note, the side bends felt a bit awkward to me. It sort of worked out the side oblique a little bit but not too much and more on the arm that was holding the weight.

March Challenge 2

Part #1: 3x5, 3x3, 3x1 Sandbag clean, press, squat and bent over rows (25lbs sandbag)
Time 4:01

The second part was inspired by this video that Fitbomb posted.

Part #2: 3 minutes with 30 seconds rest in between
Leg Raises 46
In and out 52
Jump Lunges 89



Then 50 Burpees for the day (Day 46!) Wow 4 more days and I'm DONE with 50 Burpees per day for 50 Day Challenge!

March Challenge 1: 3 minutes and 3x5 Circuit

Here it is! It's the First Day of March, which means the FIRST DAY of my March Challenge!

Read about it more here if you're interested.

1. 3 minute High Knees Skipping 360

2. 3x5 Circuit (3 sets of 5 reps) of each exercise:
Push Up
Jump Tuck

Time 3:05


And 50 Burpees for the day (Day 45!) - finished in 6:31

Apparently doing 50 burpees after a workout while in empty stomach surely took quite a toll on me!
